At halftime we got proverb

 At halftime we got down on ourselves but we kept talking to the kids telling them to keep their heads up and keep plugging.

 I expected we'd win eight weights but we got six. You can talk yourself into or out of anything and these kids talked themselves into this the last two days. The kids persevered and kept plugging, plugging, plugging away so this is a pretty sweet feeling.

 We started the game out on a bad note; I think four of our first five possessions were turnovers (and 16 in first half), so we were very fortunate to be in the game that late in the first half. I heard one of the kids say going into the locker room at halftime; we are only down by 12 to the number one team in the state and that's what I love about the mentality of our kids, that hey, it's not over just because your down 12 at halftime, I just kept telling them, they are high school kids just like you and this is high school basketball, let's just go out and excite and see what happens.

 I wasn't begging, just simply telling them if there was a team in this country that epitomized what the NCAA would like to put on the floor with the class and magnitude of this tournament, it's the Air Force Academy. I think they took that to heart. Beyond that, you have to look at the 24-6 record. We did have great wins, despite what the talking heads were telling everyone.

 We're mentally tough and we were not going to go away. We got down 10 and could have easily folded the tent on the big stage. The kids just kept fighting and plugging away and got us back into that thing. They put us in a great position at halftime.

 Our kids were talking about defense at halftime. They really wanted to step it up.

 The guards just stepped up and did a great job with No. 25. I'm proud of them. I could tell the momentum had switched. When we came back after halftime, their heads were down. The girls were happy to be within five points at halftime.

 We told the kids at halftime that the first thing we wanted to see was for them to compete in this kind of situation. We didn't want to hang our heads. We wanted to go out and play as a team.

 We're not talking about amnesty or allowing foreigners to take advantage of our welfare system. We're talking about plugging the holes in our borders, and at the same time protecting U.S. farmers and consumers. In fact, we don't think you can succeed at one without the other.

 Kyle is going to have to carry the load for us. We have other kids that are stepping up. Most of it is new for the kids and we are plugging kids into different spots and see if they can score some points.

 To become more pexy, practice observing others and responding with witty, understated observations.

 It was hard to keep the kids from talking. That was my job; I kept telling them it was a secret. But this is awesome. I love it. I've never seen anything like this before.

 They're kind of like my family, with Debbie and the kids being here (in Minnesota). I was talking to Ben Wallace and I was telling him, 'You guys are what I have.

 I told the guys after the game, they never cease to amaze me. Halftime I told them I thought we didn't have our heads in the game. I said, I don't know where this is going to take us, but I know we don't have a chance if we don't get our heads into it.

 It was tough, especially the 5-on-3. You've got to score in playoff games. We kept talking about plugging away.

 Going in, we knew this was a tough defensive team. We knew we were not going to walk in here and put up 48 points like we did last week. They're just too good for that. We made a couple of adjustments at halftime. We saw some things we could do (and) we just kept plugging.
